Since the conclusion of the series, From Far Away has continued to receive the most responses from readers over the past 20 years, including ongoing requests for an anime adaptation. I am truly grateful that this project has finally become a reality. I hope both longtime fans and new audiences will enjoy it.

Director Noriyuki Abe Comment
I am extremely excited to bring this timeless masterpiece to life as an anime for the first time. The story of Izark and Noriko, who struggle within the invisible currents of a vast world while nurturing their bond and love, feels especially fresh in today’s era. We aim to portray their determination with deep immersion and emotional intensity.
